“Columbus Circle”

Coming on Policemen Unexpectedly

This week I started shooting with my new Fujifilm X-T2, upgrade to the X-T1 I’ve been shooting with for the last couple of years. While mostly comfortably the same I have not quite finished setting everything up the way I like it and just discovered I was shooting jpegs rather than Raw. Also, allowed auto-ISO to go up to 12,800 for this night shot (maxed at 6,400 on the X-T1) which explains the plastic-y, somewhat painterly look of the noise reduction somewhat.

Inspiring the Next Generation

Marvelous string quartet played Barber’s Adagio and Eine Kleine Nacht Musick while we waited for the train and drew the admiration of this young music student. Curtis Sliwa, founder of the Guardian Angels also made an appearance and photographed them with his phone – my shots of him weren’t any good.
